Discussion > Seagulls

Just wondering if you got around to 3D printing HO scale seagulls that you discussed on the forum. Need some for my wharf scene.

Hi Jerry.
Sorry, never got around to that project. The printer that we bought was not high enough resolution to do what we had hoped to be able to do. Know any body that wants to but a slightly used "Maker Bot II"? Make ya a good deal.

"Cut and Assemble an Early American Seaport" by A.G. Smith (Dover Publications, 1984) includes some cut-out seagulls. It would be a pretty easy matter to combine the wings from that book with Sculpey bodies and get a convincing seagull.

Here's a link to making Sculpey ducks:

I've noticed there's a real gap on the market in that there is virtually no HO scale wildlife available. I once made a little HO scale mountain goat for a client who's building a GN layout:
